Dearly Devoted Dexter
Amazing. The books ending and elements are much different from the Showtime Series. I have enjoyed all three Dexter Books By Jeff Lindsay. I can hardly wait for the fourth book which I hear is in the works.

Just as dark and fun as the first
This book continued the great quality that Lindsay started with in the first book and is of equal, if not greater, quality. It's also just as gripping as the first book. I read it 2 days, and it only took that long because I made myself take breaks so that it wouldn't be over too soon!

The only complaint I have is the same as the first one. There is a great, suspenseful buildup to the climax of the story, but that climax is quite short with very little story following it. I just wish it were longer.

delicious dexter
A gripping read that tantalises and repulses at the same time. Dexter is delicious!

I Luv Dexter!
I had to buy the books after watching the first season on CBS. I loved teh show so much I checked out the first book at the library and instantly feel in love. The books (as always) are much better than the series. The author has quite a gift and this series is one page turner after another.

Dexter, Take Two
It's book two review and I'm still a Dexter fanatic. I'm still thinking I should have read all the books before watching the show because Michael C. Hall's portrayal of Dexter is better than Book Dexter, in my humble opinion.

I still love the idea of a serial killer who not only kills bad guys, but also adores his "work." The only thing that started to lose me in the book was the unlikely idea of every new serial killer knowing Dexter and meeting with him in some way. You have to kind of throw rational thinking to the wind and say, "Okay, every big serial killer in the planet could very well be in Miami and have an affinity or hatred or a connection with/for Dexter. Why not?"

The show doesn't do this and is much better, much more cohesive, much more believable.

But, yeah, if you're like me and need to read a book because you watch the show or the movie, go ahead, dig deeply into Dexter, but you may be disappointed. Deeply disappointed.

The read is fine, but the thrill is gone. Showtime nails it though.
